Rating: 5/5 A Must-do Swap – SSD For HDD In Older MBP September 13, 2020 I was recommended a change a while ago: swap the internal HDD in an ageing Macbook Pro to a SSD. My MBP is a mid 2009 machine. Why would one want to do that you may ask? My reason: only because I was not using the MBP on a regular basis while I am on my iMac over 10 hours a day, every day. I only occassionally use the MBP to make the odd presentation to a client, or if I am on the move. I also only use it for a few routine programmes. I had already upgraded the RAM to 8 GB back in 2011. The machine however was slowing down, which was why I was recommended the swap.

Having had a very pleasant experience with OWC for my iMac (upgraded both RAM and the HDD to an SSD), I automatically came to OWC. They shipped the 500 GB SSD Kit I requested. It arrived by Courier and not through USPS like the last time. The service was efficient. Customs duty and charges of about 30% in Colombia was annoying. If only OWC had provided me with a way to give them a Customs Import Code, I would have had to pay a lesser amount as duty because it was computer parts that I was importing, and lesser duties would apply – at least at the current moment. A little box in the OWC ordering process for buyer's instructions will be helpful.

The process of swapping the HDD with the SSD was easy, thanks to the good video provided by OWC. It was just a 15 minute job for even a Newbie like me. Installing the Operating System was a challenge. Not due to any shortcoming on the part of OWC; it was actually Apple's fault. The Validation Certificate date in the software is incorrect and needs to be corrected through a Terminal Screen process. I was fortunate to have found this sound piece of advice on the Internet: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250793420 I owe a big thank you to JMaiers. Once that was done, the rest of the installation was a breeze.

Apple's Migration Assistant is a nifty piece of software and the migration of applications, files and data was easy. I now have a MBP that boots up in 30 seconds instead of 15 minutes. The programmes load and work much faster. Thank you OWC.

Rating: 5/5 Excellent Upgrade Choice June 20, 2020 I decided to upgrade from a HD to the SSD 500GB in the hope of increasing my battery life on my old model 15" 2010 MacBook Pro.

The physical change out of the old HD and install of the new SSD was very simple. The only difficulty I had was in formatting the new SSD, which was my shortcoming as I am in no way a computer nerd. It took me a couple of times to get it right, as I had never attempted formatting drives before.

The change in performance was amazing, EVERYTHING runs faster now, as well as my battery life has increased by at least one third.

Anyone owning an older Mac can significantly increase their machines performance with this simple upgrade.

Rating: 5/5 Replaced slow HD with very fast SSD October 12, 2019 In my quest to get more performance out of my 2009 13" MacBook Pro I have upgraded the memory from 4GB to 8GB, but want to replace the slow 5,400 RPM 250GB hard drive with an SSD. So, I purchased a 500GB SSD from OWC to do the replacement. I purchased the kit with the enclosure and tools to make things easier. I cloned the Mac OS X El Capitan onto the SSD, then installed it in the Mac. I am really impressed with the very fast response my old MacBook Pro now has. It responds much quicker than my 2017 21" iMac. Thank you OWC for great products.

Rating: 5/5 This SSD was just what I needed. October 1, 2019 I have a mid 2010 white macbook with older hard drive. It is acting very slow. I looked around for SSD drives and found OWC. I like the bundle idea for the tools and the external case for the old hard drive.

The video to install the drive was very easy to follow and was in a good step by step manner. Once the new drive was cloned then installed I turned on the macbook. I noticed a significant difference in boot up speed. Once in, the speed of the search engine was lightning fast compared to the old hard drive.

All in all, I am very satisfied.

Rating: 5/5 A big improvement in MBP performance August 24, 2018 I've never had a misfire with an OWC upgrade, but this one worried me and I probably spent a year thinking before pulling the trigger. The mechanics of the installation are very simple and at no time was I concerned about the surgical aspects of the job. The OWC upgrade kit gives you everything you need, except for SuperDuper (for the data transfer) which I already owned.

After the cloning and then installing the SSD into the MBP, the boot went without a glitch. But, the fans were spinning up and Activity Monitor showed several unfamiliar processes eating up large amounts of CPU capacity. I was quite anxious at this point. I Googled what these processes were doing and how to calm them, but I needn't have. After a couple of DAYS things have totally smoothed out and I couldn't be happier. The lesson here is to not panic. Search data bases were being rebuilt, shared folders re-synchronized, etc. I don't know why this has to happen, but all's well that ends well. I guess that there are hidden costs to using iCloud, Dropbox, Google Drive and the like.

I now have a 2010 MBP that makes me smile like when it was new.

Rating: 5/5 So simple, so awesome! July 20, 2018 I needed to get a little more mileage from my aging Macbook Pro and replacing the original spinning hard drive with an OWC SSD was just the ticket. The kit has everything you need to get the job done, and the documentation on how to do it is clear and concise. Getting the SSD into the case and formatted was simple. Backing up the original drive was also a breeze, although the process of actually copying the data over takes a while. Thanks to the incredibly useful how-to videos, the process of replacing the original drive inside the Mac went without a hitch.

As far as performance goes, when people tell you that replacing your spinning hard drive with an SSD is like getting a new computer believe them! I'm astonished at how quickly my Mac boos up and how little time it takes for apps to open. Even the 3G Mercury Electra screams. If you are at all thinking about how to improve the performance on an older Mac then GET THIS.

Rating: 5/5 Key upgrade for 2010 Mac Mini Server February 10, 2018 Replacing a drive in the mid-2010 Mac Mini server is an undertaking, it was worth it.I only removed the "lower bay" or Disk 1 OEM drive which had failed operationally and according to SMART. I replaced Disk 1 with an OWC 60GB SSD to host primarily the operating system. The video that OWC has on replacing Mac Mini server drives was very good, although I was unable to get the WIFI grill to seat correctly -- but I'm OK with that. Anyway, I installed a new copy of MacOS High Sierra and with APFS, I'm good to go with super quick boot-ups and a far more reliable experience for a content caching server and periodic desktop computer. Thanks again, OWC, for helping to resurrect an ailing, slow Mac.
